Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of laser direct writing, and in particular relates to an interference lithography system and method based on electro-optical deflection phase shifting and synchronous image rotation. Background Art

[0002] The production of micro-nano structures with specific structures on the surface of materials has always been a research focus in the field of microelectronics and nanoscience. However, the size limitations and high costs of traditional photolithography methods make it impossible to mass-produce large-area micro-nano patterns with flexible periodic scales. The production of these specific periodic structures is a core technology in the fields of microelectronic device manufacturing, biomedicine, and electronic detection. Therefore, low-cost mass production of large-area micro-nano structures has extremely high market value.

[0003] Optical interference lithography is an important technology for manufacturing micro-nano array devices by exposing a photosensitive substrate to a periodic pattern generated by the interference of two or more laser beams. The laser interference lithography method has an incomparable advantage in the low-cost, large-scale, large-area manufacturing of surface micro-nano structures, especially when making periodic structures from a few hundred nanometers to a few microns. The laser interference lithography method can complete the work very simply and at a low cost. These periodic structures include gratings, dot arrays, and linear array structures. Then, using the etching methods commonly used in the field of microelectronics, these micro-nano structures can be transferred to the substrate, so that laser interference lithography can be applied in more fields.

[0004] The invention patent application with publication number CN102838082A discloses a method for making micro-nano structures on the surface of a material based on laser interference lithography. It forms micro-nano structures on a photoresist by generating laser interference, and then transfers the micro-nano structures on the photoresist to the surface of a substrate material by etching to form micro-nano scale gratings, dot arrays, linear arrays and other structures. The method of the present invention can be used to make high-quality nanostructures on the surface of various materials in a large area, which is simple and low-cost and has great application value. However, the writing freedom is low, and various microstructure morphologies and arrangements cannot be flexibly realized.

[0005] The invention patent application with publication number CN110837214 discloses a scanning interference lithography system, including a heterodyne optical path, a first interference optical path, a second interference optical path, a moving stage and a control subsystem; the moving stage carries a substrate, the displacement of the moving stage is measured by a displacement measuring interferometer, and the first beam of light and the second beam of light are focused on the substrate for interference exposure; the control subsystem generates instructions according to various measurement information, adjusts the angle of the corresponding device or the phase of the light beam, and completes the locking of the phase drift of the interference exposure stripes of the first beam of light and the second beam of light. The scanning interference lithography system of the present invention has the advantages of high stripe pattern locking accuracy and high laser utilization rate. The phase of the exposure beam is measured by a heterodyne phase meter, and the motion error of the moving stage is measured by a displacement measuring interferometer. The exposure interference stripes are compensated and controlled by the control subsystem, and can be used to manufacture large-area high-precision dense grid line gradient periodic gratings. However, the patent application requires more optical devices to be regulated, and the control is complex, making it difficult to achieve accurate regulation. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0053] In order to more clearly understand the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application, the present application is described and illustrated below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] In this embodiment, an interference lithography method based on electro-optical deflection phase shifting and synchronous image rotation is provided. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the principle of an interference lithography system based on electro-optical deflection phase shifting and synchronous image rotation according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, according to the optical path arrangement, it includes: a high-power laser 1, a beam collimator 2, a first half-wave plate 3, an electro-optic modulator 4, a fast deflection mirror 5, a scanning lens 6, a first plane mirror 7, a polarization beam splitter 8, a second plane mirror 9, a right-angle plane mirror 10, a second half-wave plate 11, a third plane mirror 12, an image rotation module 13, a first lens 14, a variable aperture 15, a second lens 16, a dichroic mirror 17, an objective lens 18, a translation stage 19, an illumination LED 20, a tube lens 21, a camera 22, a computer 23, and a data acquisition card 24.

[0055] The laser output module provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention comprises a high-power laser 1 and a beam collimator 2. The high-power laser 1 is used to generate high-power coherent laser light, and the beam collimator 2 is used to expand the beam and complete the beam collimation calibration.

[0056] The laser beam splitting and polarization modulation module provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a first half-wave plate 3, a polarization beam splitter 8 and a second half-wave plate 11. The first half-wave plate 3 converts the output laser into polarized light, so that the laser beam irradiated to the polarization beam splitter 8 can be divided into two polarized lights of equal intensity; the second half-wave plate 11 causes the polarization direction of one of the laser beams to be deflected by 90°, so that the polarization directions of the two laser beams are the same, thereby achieving a stripe pattern with sufficiently high contrast when the final beam is combined for interference, meeting the excitation threshold of lithography, and realizing lithography writing.

[0057] The laser phase and spatial distribution modulation module provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention includes an electro-optic modulator 4, a fast deflection mirror 5, a scanning lens 6, a first plane mirror 7, a second plane mirror 9, a right-angle plane mirror 10, and a third plane mirror 12. The electro-optic modulator 4 is used to divide the polarized light modulated by the first half-wave plate 3 into o light and e light of equal light intensity, which respectively correspond to the two interference lights split by the subsequent optical path through the polarization beam splitter 8. The electro-optic modulator 4 modulates the phase difference between the o light and the e light through the electro-optic effect, thereby changing the position of the final interference fringe, that is, it is used to modulate the phase difference of the two laser beams, so that the position of the fringe after the two laser beams are combined and interfered is controllably displaced; the fast deflection mirror 5 is composed of a fast deflection table and a plane mirror, and is placed on the front focal plane of the scanning lens 6 to ensure that the light of each angle is emitted in a direction parallel to the main optical axis after passing through the scanning lens, so that the light beam is divided into two mutually perpendicular light beams after passing through the first plane mirror 7 and the polarization beam splitter 8, and is respectively irradiated onto the right-angle plane mirror 10 after passing through the second plane mirror 9 and the third plane mirror 12, and the reflected light remains parallel to each other. At the same time, the beam angle changed by the fast deflection mirror 5 affects the spacing between the two beams after reflection from the right-angle plane mirror 10, and further controls the fringe period after the two light beams are combined and interfered, meeting the flexible lithography requirements.

[0058] The image rotation module 13 provided in the specific embodiment of the present invention is used to change the direction of the plane where the two beams of light are located, so as to control the periodic direction of the interference fringes after the combined beams. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the image rotation module 13 is composed of three plane mirrors, two of which are symmetrically placed with an obtuse angle, and the other reflector is placed horizontally on top, so that the two parallel laser beams are reflected three times respectively and then exchange positions and emit in parallel. In a specific embodiment, the three plane mirrors are fixed on a housing as a whole and are equipped with a high-precision motor to control the rotation along the axis, so that the emitted light is not limited to Figure 2 The angle shown is flipped 180°, and it can be rotated at any angle to achieve free rotation of the final interference fringe direction.

[0059] The laser beam combining direct writing module provided in a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a first lens 14, a variable aperture 15, a second lens 16, an objective lens 18, and a displacement stage 19. The first lens 14 and the scanning lens 6 constitute a 4f system, which conjugates the fast deflection mirror 5 and the variable aperture 15 to form an image; the variable aperture 15 can affect the size of the interference fringe field of view of the final imaging of the objective lens by changing the size of the aperture; the light beam passing through the variable aperture is focused on the rear focal plane of the objective lens 18 through the second lens 16, and then the two laser beams interfere in the photoresist on the displacement stage 19 behind the objective lens to form stripes, thereby completing the excitation lithography.

[0060] The lighting monitoring module provided by the specific embodiment of the present invention includes a dichroic mirror 17, an illumination LED 20, a tube lens 21, and a camera 22. The illumination LED 20 allows the light scattered by the inscribed structure to pass through the dichroic mirror 17, and then is focused on the camera 22 through the tube lens 21, and the image of the interference fringe pattern is obtained by the camera.

[0061] The acquisition control module provided in the specific embodiment of the present invention includes a computer 23 and a data acquisition card 24. The image captured by the camera 22 is transmitted to the computer 23 through the network card communication. At the same time, the computer can send instructions to the data acquisition card 24 according to the captured image, thereby controlling the switch, exposure time and other parameters of the camera. The displacement stage 19 feeds back the current position coordinates and speed information to the data acquisition card 24 in real time. At the same time, the data acquisition card 24 sends instructions to control the displacement stage to complete the movement through the command of the computer. The data acquisition card 24 realizes the synchronous control of the electro-optic modulator 4, the fast deflection mirror 5, the image rotation module 13, the displacement stage 19 and the camera 22.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, two laser beams interfere on the displacement stage to form interference fringes with equal spacing. After the interference fringes are exposed at a certain position for a period of time, the displacement stage 19 steps a distance of a field of view to the next field of view. The computer 23 issues instructions to the data acquisition card 24 to control the laser phase and spatial distribution modulation module and the image rotation module 13 to complete the precise control of the direction and position of any interference fringes, and then expose again, and the cycle is repeated until the exposure of all structures is completed. It is worth noting that only four interference patterns are listed in the figure. In actual writing, the direction and period of the interference fringes can be arbitrarily controlled, and can be arranged and stepped in any direction on a two-dimensional plane, not limited to the schematic diagram.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, two laser beams interfere on the displacement stage 19 to form interference fringes with equal spacing. At the same time, the displacement stage 19 moves at a constant speed along the direction of the interference fringes, thereby exposing a row of line arrays of arbitrary length in the field of view. During the movement of the displacement stage 19, the illumination monitoring module can detect the platform position and the morphology of the writing fringes in real time. If there is a deviation in a certain direction, the laser phase and spatial distribution modulation module and the image rotation module 13 can be manipulated to finely control the interference fringes in real time, so that the exposed fringes are uniform and straight.
